Rising Instructions for Tie-Dye
Today your child created a tie dye shirt that he/she will enjoy for years. If properly rinsed and washed, the colors will stay as brilliant as they appear when you open the plastic bag!
The shirt should be kept at room temperature. Leave the shirt in the bag for 6-8 hours. Using a utility sink, rinse the shirt under lukewarm water as you remove the rubber bands. Moms and Dads will want to do this as the dyes may stain anything they get on (this includes your hands, gloves are strongly suggested.) Continue rinsing until you see the water running clear. This step may seem to take a long time – it does. The results will be worth it! Now wash the shirt in hot soapy water in the washing machine all by itself. The dyes are now set and you may wash your shirt along with your other clothes. Dry in the dryer or hang out on the line and enjoy!
